Publisher 2K and developer Turtle Rock
announce the release of
Evolve, their four-versus-one shooter for Windows,
Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. The game's
launch trailer is
online, and here's the news:
2K and Turtle Rock Studios announced today that Evolve™, the 4v1 shooter in
which four Hunters cooperatively fight to take down a single-player controlled
Monster, is now available worldwide for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and
entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment
system, and Windows PC. Evolve is a cooperative and competitive experience
enjoyed online, as well as offline solo.
“2K and Turtle Rock Studios did a remarkable job delivering such a creative and
ambitious game,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “Evolve is an
innovative and highly replayable experience that will define this console
generation for years to come.”
Evolve features a wealth of content playable both online and offline, with three
playable Monsters, 12 playable Hunters across four unique classes, four game
modes, and 16 maps. Evolve also includes Evacuation, a unique experience that
combines the full array of maps, modes, Hunters, and Monsters into a single
dynamic campaign offering near-limitless variety. In Evacuation, players choose
a side – Monster or Hunter – and play through a series of five matches, where
the outcome of each match directly impacts the next, totaling over 800,000
possible gameplay combinations for ultimate replayability.
“Our philosophy is to build incredibly fun game experiences that we can’t find
anywhere else, and we’ve achieved that with Evolve,” said Chris Ashton,
co-founder and design director at Turtle Rock Studios. “After years of iteration
and playing the game every day, Evolve is a polished and balanced experience for
players to enjoy online, cooperatively with friends against AI, or completely
alone offline.”
